Caravan of Semites (1)

Caravan of Semites (1)

‎The caravan of Semites is depicted on an Egyptian tomb painting of the 19th century BCE. The added inscription mentions that the Semites delivered eye make-up to Egypt, where it was very popular. The section of the picture shows a group bringing two gazelles as a gift to the monarch. The nomads are armed with bow and arrow, as well as with boomerangs. The Egyptian monarchs surely loved the gazelles as much as Solomon, at least according to the report in 1 Kings 4:22–23.
